Although the Silent Hill series has been making a comeback, it’s not been quite as triumphant as many had hoped. Having said that, there are still some games in the series, as well as a new film, to look forward to, and announcements are coming this week.
When will the Silent Hill 2 remake be released?
In a recent post on X, Konami is inviting Silent Hill fans to check out the Transmission showcase that’s going ahead on May 30. You’ll be able to check it out live on the game’s official YouTube channel, where it will begin at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
What exactly is going to be shown during the presentation cannot be said in any detail. All Konami is telling us is the publisher will be sharing “game updates, a deeper look at the film, and new merch.”
There are currently a number of brand-new entries in the series that are still in development, including Silent Hill f and Silent Hill: Townfall. Along with this year’s A Short Message and last year’s interactive experience Ascension, these releases represent a new era for the long-dormant horror franchise. Sadly, the two latest installments did not go down well, with the latter being lambasted for excessive use of monetization.
Of course, the one thing that’s going to be on everyone’s lips is whether we’ll finally get a release date for the Silent Hill 2 remake. Speculations have been spreading about when it’s likely to launch and while the official Steam page doesn’t have a release window yet, it’s been suggested that it could arrive sometime this year.
The remake is being developed by Bloober Team, a studio renowned for visually impressive horror games. However, some have shown concerns about the team’s take on SH2, particularly as previous titles like The Medium have been criticized for poor representations of mental health issues.
That aside, fans of Silent Hill will be paying close attention to the Transmission event that’s going ahead this Thursday.
